Based on the information available, swimming in chlorinated pools while using Lipitor (atorvastatin) is generally considered safe.

Lipitor is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease [1]. It is primarily eliminated from the body through the liver, not through the kidneys [1]. Therefore, chlorinated pool water, which is primarily filtered through the pool's filtration system and not through the human body, is not expected to interact with Lipitor in a way that would cause harm.

However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before participating in any new activities or making significant lifestyle changes while taking medication. This is because individual health circumstances can vary, and a healthcare provider can provide personalized advice based on a comprehensive understanding of a person's health history and current medications.

In summary, based on the available information, swimming in chlorinated pools while using Lipitor is generally considered safe. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before participating in any new activities or making significant lifestyle changes while taking medication.
